Being fiscally responsible, understanding the need for government to operate within its budget and empathizing with working families. Ms. Hanlin was the only alderman to vote no on the one percent sales tax increase in Byron.

In her first two years in office as an alderman she helped to complete the downtown street project, Colfax Street and 7th Street projects all without raising taxes.

She currently sits on the Byron Community Revitalization Board as secretary. As a small business owner, Ms. Hanlin has a vision for bringing quality jobs to the Byron area.

Her energy, enthusiasm, good sense and integrity, along with managerial competency, make her well-qualified to move our city forward.
